i don't know if i'm doing something wrong or not, but i have never been able to get GPS to work on any of the "GPS works!" ICS builds.

my vibrant actually had a pretty damn good GPS from the factory, and back on bionix 1.3.1 i would get locks in 10 seconds down to ~6 meters, so hardware is not the problem.

tried using the faster fix app, but no matter what i do, the phone never even sees one satellite, much less acquires any type of fix.

im stumped.

edit:

to whoever in this thread suggested reflashing KB5... thanks!

i just tried it and re-opened GPS Test... i'm sitting at my desk at work and all of a sudden 10 sats pop up in view... i have never gotten a lock indoors, but 10 in view at my desk is astronomically better than 0 in view in the parking lot.

Info in my signature...

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

FYI -

updated wallpaper pack is in my signature.....I was the one putting the wallpapers together for this rom. My latest one didnt make it in time for v8. They are included in the dl link in the sig though...
[Vibrant Android Development] cheesyFbaby:
I've never flashed ICS and I'm currently on GB MiUi but does this have BLN?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] jrafael:
Nope

BLN is not supported in ICS yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] syl0n:
I am getting force closes on some random apps, also there is some lag around the launcher still.

Clock app does not use network time, i have to manually update timezone, it also force closed on me a couple of times so I rolled back to CM7. I don't want to miss my alarm in the morning!
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
Titanium backup restore is the reason why my phone was staying awake. I reflashed v8 and downloaded all app from the market and now its fine .
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
My backlight buttons light up for notifications but they do not blink.
[Vibrant Android Development] INeFFeCTiVE:
Same here!
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
Does V8 include the lag fix as described below?

[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Maybe I'm blind but I don't see media service anywhere in the app list only media storage.
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
The rom has no bootloader at all.

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

If you read in OP it states that datadata is included on demand so yes it does have the lag fix plus support for init.d.
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
uhhh

did they ever blink without BLN premium? and (forgive me, i stopped following BLN cause i always turned it off) did they ever figure out how to only light one LED vs all four?
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
Media Storage is what you want to clear. Media Server will rescan on restart.
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesgg:
Thank You, for your straight answer.
[Vibrant Android Development] chaulklet:
Uhh where is the gps fix again? Or the configs of it to make it better? I tested with just network and it was off 500m LOL. With wifi ~7m.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrafael:
That's not BLN, see screen shot.
[Vibrant Android Development] Annex1:
Hey I just wanted to let everyone know that wallpapers that are shown are the ICS wallpapers.... I included DSImages and mine, but for some reason they don't show up... I haven't had time to look at the code to see why. Will look into it though. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
so, the backlights light up when you have notifications.

but that "isn't" backlight notifications?

:confused::confused::confused:

ok.
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
If you are tlaking about LBSTest than you need to flash it through CWR it is linked in OP GPS Test Apps. You will need to switch from Standalon to MSBAsed.

However, if you brave enough you can seatch thread for my GPS fix where I included gps.conf and cert file to be updated in /system/etc folders.
[Vibrant Android Development] chaulklet:
I just used google maps :p but yeah I'm talking about the gps.conf grr will look through :cool:

Edit: Found it :D What do I do with it again?
[Vibrant Android Development] L1LK1LLERZ:
Anyone had this problem yet, that when you go into recovery from the power button menu, it will take you to recovery, but when you click on reboot system normally, it will just take you to recovery again.

To fix that I just wiped partation cache and dalvik cache, and then when I click on reboot system normally, it rebooted.
[Vibrant Android Development] vnamee:
BLN is a feature added into kernels like voodoo to enhance the ui. The backlight here isn't BLN in as such but a feature that may be native to ICS (i'm not aware of any features added to the kernel). BLN supported blinking and such. This one just lights up and stays lit. Same concept in the end.
[Vibrant Android Development] Joy2DaWurld:
Can anyone confirm the mute/unmute bug is gone? I know it wasn't apparent to a lot of users, but some did face the issue.

Of course I'll still have to update either way because I'm on v6 of this but thanks for all of the hard work!
[Vibrant Android Development] cyberseer:
Its still here ^^
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
Well there are two files and both need to be copied into /system/etc folder

The one is a certificate file for supl if you choose to enable secure socket for supl and the other cone can just replace the existing gps.conf file in that folder.

You can backup existing one if you choose to go back to it.

In LBSTest chnage from Standalon to MSBased.

Then clear GPS data clear dalvik cache reboot maybe two times to be sure and go outside for like 2-5 min let it lock in. The first lock might take longer but after that it will get better and better.

I am constantly locking to 5-7m outside and navigation is spot-on.
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
initially BLN (the app too) only supported lighting. no blinking. are we sure this is ICS native?
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
It is inconsistent. Right now I dont have any problem with incoming calls.

Keep my fingers crossed ;-) but at some point it breaks I had that issue with v3 and v6 and v6.5.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Passion

I've been wanting that feature for a long time. That was one of the build.prop tweaks by Master&Slave but only worked for Froyo, so it was said. I'd like to be able to see the damn things all the time whether it uses battery or not.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
Nothing to see here. Move along.
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Can I disable LED Notification?

Yes. Untick Settings -> Display -> Pulse notification light.
[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
+1, works just fine for me with most notifications.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
extremely awkward issue:

i get a text, notification sound goes off... but it never stops lol. it just went in a loop phone froze. Had to battery pull :D

[Vibrant Android Development] roundel77:
I am trying to avoid flashing CM7.( I am on Trigger 3.2 -Froyo Rom with Froyo Bootloader)

And yes I"ve read OP numerous times.. But since LIDROID ROM is easy method to get recovery mod, rooted ROM, and most important of all Gingerbread Bootloader, can I just Odin to Lidroid and follow the OP and skip flashing CM7 just flash V8? What is it about CM7? Is it crucial step ? Why does it say in the OP "For those who aren't coming from CM7/MIUI"? I am just trying to do completely CLEAN install . Planning to follow every step(except flashing CM7).. So what do you guys think ???
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Yepp.

I have done this.

I never installed CM7 instead ODINed to LIDROID and then install ICS.
[Vibrant Android Development] dbknottyboy:
hey guys, i tried to revert back to 2.2, but for some reason I can't install any ROM other than ICS or MIUI on recovery.. I always get this weird message of incompatible or something.. Any thoughts about this?

Any help would be appreciated :)
[Vibrant Android Development] eagles20015:
sorry for the noob question but I did not see it asked earlier. I flashed the rom without flashing the bootloader first, things are fine now but I want to flash the bootloader but I cant seem to get in to download mode. I tried holding down the volume keys and power button and the volume keys + plugging the usb connector in. Neither has worked so far so any help would be much appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] bdubs4200:
...lots of words... my personal way that has ALWAYS worked for Odin is> open Odin, pull phone battery, pop er back in, hold both volume buttons (NOT POWER), plug in USB. So if that doesn't work try asking in the Odin thread :-P
[Vibrant Android Development] roundel77:
THANKS NEO!

Now LIDROID ROM uses I9000 bootloader and has different button combos than usual Vibrant ..

Is it ok to flash Gingerbread Bootloaders(again) for Vibrant on top of Lindroid( for convenient key maps- 3 button combo)???

Edit:

Original Lidroid 3.0.0 got proper button combo:)

Odin Version Of Lidroid 3.0.0 JVT For Bootloader (Optional Clears Rainbow In Recovery And So Forth)
[Vibrant Android Development] a2296455:
Thanks! This fixed those damn FC's!
[Vibrant Android Development] WingCero:
Haven't used my Vibrant in a long time. My main phone is dead and now i hear a good ICS rom is available for the vibrant. So I do the necessaries. Odin back to 2.1

and download clockworkmod premium. Then I go to download the free version since you need'm both. For some reason I can't find it. Whatthefudge!?

My device is rooted, and I'm pretty sure this question has been asked and likely answered. I've looked online and here, but i keep getting old information and nothing about CWM not showing up for eclair vibrants. Oh and I did try via desktop and web market. Says not available for my device or something similar.

Help

[Vibrant Android Development] dsimages:
First off, you didnt read/search the most important place....the OP. Original Post. It has all info needed to get this rom on your phone.

Download Odin 1.82

download Lidroid

Follow instructions on flashing lidroid with odin

Once lidroid is installed on your phone...

Flash ICS Passion V8.

thats it, very simple.

My sig has links to all this info.....

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

Maybe your getting weird messages because your phone is weird.

Seriously though, we cant help you without any info....like, what does the message say?
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Why not Lidroid 3.0.1 ? I can see Lidroid 2.4 ?
[Vibrant Android Development] sada23:
This could be because of the version of recovery that is currently on your phone. You could try formatting the system in mounts& storage menu and then try restoring the ROM you want.

If that doesnt work, you will have to ODIN.

goodluck.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I actually had the same problem running 2.1. When I went into my Market account on the web it told me ROM Manager free wasn't compatible with my device, and I was cursing just as much - flashing CWM Recovery through the Samsung recovery got me where I needed to be.
[Vibrant Android Development] dsimages:
I have tested both, and both are fine. I said odin 1.82 because that is the version I work with, so if he snaggs up I can be confident in helping him because we would be using same process...

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------
[Vibrant Android Development] roundel77:
Lindroid 3.0.1 DOESN'T have bootloaders as per :

I will use Lidroid 3.0.0 just in case:)
[Vibrant Android Development] eagles20015:
That's not working either. I already tried practically every combo in the odin thread. And now my phone gets stuck at the ics boot logo

I can get into recovery though
[Vibrant Android Development] joroboyvn:
Damaged SD card?? Any solution??? Formatted in win 7 then again shows up as damaged...
[Vibrant Android Development] wergeld:
On v8 with GB bootloader and followed OP instructions. I am getting wicked slow wifi speeds. In the 40 kbps range. Tried with my old G1 and getting 9 mbps. Wifi had always been odd on these ICS builds for me. Yes, I am using KB5. Tmobile speeds are about 6 to 7 mbps. Anyone have some debugging ideas for this?
[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
Neo, I just wanted to compliment you because you are always so helpful and work so hard to ensure your work is of quality. And the fact that you share it for free, puts us in debt to you. Many have made contributions and I thank them also. I intend to make one too when I get a chance. Currently I am laid off and relying only on my wives income.

That aside, I experienced my first hiccup in this rom. Twice today, my phone soft booted. Both times were involved in communication, after completing an incoming call and the other after sending a text. I did completely reboot after it happened each time. Otherwise, no problems. Any idea what may be causing this?
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
This thread is getting A LOT of questions.

If you have some questions, I'd be glad to help out over at ICS Passin's IRC: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=icspassion&uio=d4#

Chit chat, talk about hot oily men, and much more. ;D
[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
Try formatting under storage section in settings, always works better for me. But the possibility your sd card is damaged is real.
[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
Lol, im game. I love sphincters. ;-)
[Vibrant Android Development] DonutYankee:
So after initial install left me with lag I completely cleared out the ROM of all apps manually. Then in CW recovery wiped cache, cache/data, dalvik cache, formatted system. Then flashed v8 again. Much better now.

P.S. Launcher still crashes. But at least now it does so quickly and smoothly, haha. Going to look at that build.prop edit.
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesd86:
So far so good, finally got the nerve to try this and all I can say is wow!!!

Why is this in beta? Everything works so smoothly! Only fc I have gotten has been a random launcher and market problem... I've had more problems from stock 2.1 and 2.2 than this. Thanks for saving me 400 on the gsII,no need for it now

Accurate Battery Mod (Number inside battery).. anyone willing to test for me?

I have CM7 on my phone at the moment, so.. I can't test. :p
[Vibrant Android Development] enzomtrx:
hey neo, v8 is a dream. I have a question, under advanced settings in wifi settings, there use to be an option to avoid poor network connection, i have to uncheck that just so it connect to my network for some reason. I no longer see this option yet its saying avoided por connection. Help?
[Vibrant Android Development] dseldown:
Quote from: theexcell "Accurate Battery Mod (Number inside battery).. anyone willing to test for me?

I have CM7 on my phone at the moment, so.. I can't test."

Does it work with V8's framework, I had bootloop this morning when I tried the other Batt Mod offered here, and was informed it was because the framework on V7 is different than V8's???
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
I'll be happy too test
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
That's why I need a tester.. I updated it to v8 framework, but I need a tester.

So, someone PM me. :p

I have both versions ready for testing.
[Vibrant Android Development] HeavyA:
I went to odin the GB bootloaders and flashed the wrong file...accidentally reflashed to JFD. Went ahead and flashed the bootloaders and then re-rooted (reinstall packages in recovery). followed the steps and got v8 running in no time flat. so far it's smooth as butter.

Thanks for this ROM. everything works great.
[Vibrant Android Development] ameedi600:
Only problems I faced were launcher force close and no Netflix on TV out but it works on the phone. Which is really weird because TV out works and it shows Netflix but when I resume like a movie or episode of a show, it only plays sound on the TV and the video or picture is showing up on the phone. I can also confirm tango is now working, so basically anything video related is now working.

[Vibrant Android Development] groggycl:
couple of questions..

a) still getting complaints about the other persons not hearing me right. I almost always have to change to speaker to talk.

b) I loved one wallpaper that was in v7, I took it from the launcher2.apk and put it on my phone, but when I choose it from gallery it makes me crop the picture and then there is no way of getting the picture to display properly, it shows a little blurry.

sory for my english, I hope it is understandable xD

thanks! loved the rom, v8 is super fast!
[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
Great ROM. Seems to be running very fast and have had no issues other than Exchange calendar not syncing. I know others have reported it, but I am going to mention it again in case it gets overlooked. Hoping to see it get fixed in the next release.

BUG - Corporate/Exchange calendar sync not working. Cannot select it as a Calendar to sync from the Calendar app. Bug first seen on v7 and continues to exist on v8.

Which brings me to my question.

I might not be able to stay on this ROM without my work Calendar--what is the best way to start over fresh? I know I can just Odin JFD but what about the Gingerbread bootloaders? Should I be rolling it back or is it safe to stay on the GB version?
[Vibrant Android Development] CatfishKnight:

[Vibrant Android Development] GTOJim:
I love this rom, my phone is flying. Flashed last night, battery life looked very good dropped about 20% in ten hours.

BUT THEN today I took my phone off the charger fully charged made two short phone calls and 5 hours later my phone was almost dead. Checking battery use the Android system used 89%. So I assume it's the media bug.

Goes to show it might show up at any time.
[Vibrant Android Development] WingCero:
ok, today is a brain fart day. I've gone from stock 2.1 to Lidroid (2.3.3.) When I go to recovery, I cannot find the rom to flash it. I dropped it in the root of course, but the name of this rom doesn't show up.

Also tried renaming it to update, but still, nothing.

Help
[Vibrant Android Development] pb3000:
flashed v8 this morning, almost everything works, but now i don't get gps locks at all, on v7 it locked within 3 seconds now nothing at all, since my gps almost never worked before i was happy to see it work on v7, but on v8 it wont work at all.

[Vibrant Android Development] VibrantThemer:
For those of you who have slow data connection or gps issue, open the build.prop file in system folder with file explorer and replace all the content with the following content might help:
[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
Um, if you formatted it under windows it would be empty also. Which leads me too assume you were formatting your external sd vs the internal. Also when you stated that you were attempting to format, one could only assume that if you are on here flashing roms that you would know that formatting your sd card would delete it. Don't get mad because I told you how to do the same thing you stated you had done with a pc, but with your phone. Don't do something if you don't know what it does.
[Vibrant Android Development] M5devil:
Can't do much searching on the phone... I'll try when I get back home
[Vibrant Android Development] joroboyvn:
Nothing changed...
[Vibrant Android Development] WingCero:
simple question. what do i do if i cant find the rom when in recovery? its in my root, but i can't find it to flash it.
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
How do you know it is on internal memory if you cant find it ;-)

If you were on one rom then copied ROM into internal memory and then you ODIN to different ROM you successively erased every thing on internal partition so you would not find anything there ;-)
[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
If you didn't format system then just reboot and then make sure it is placed in the internal sd card. If you did format then you may be forced to odin.

I am starting to see same patter on GPS as i saw in v7. GPS works all day but after being inside (work) for most of the day when I come out the GPS would not get a lock the icon comes up for few sec then disappears and no lock. Reboot fixes the issue. Does anyone else see this happening?
[Vibrant Android Development] swehes:
I second that. My GPS has not been working properly at all since I bought it.
[Vibrant Android Development] nextelbuddy:
just flashed this.

came from froyo 2.1 Teamwhiskey build.

followed the directions an flashed rom from old CWM and got stuck in boot loop as was advised.

pulled battery and booted back into CWM again but now saw the new blue CWM

flashed ICS again and now its working great.

so far after an hour nlo FC and only GPS and auto rotation not working as stated in OP.

loving this ICS so far.

i can definitely tell where ICS would benefit from better hardware such as a dual core processor as you can still feel the lag a bit on the vibrant evne after killing tasks.

great job DEV!!!!! ive been waiting for the DEVS in the ASUS transformer forum to finish an ICS port but they are taking for ever..funny how some of the transformer devs are still cranking out new HC 3.2 roms when so many people are waiting for ICS ports.
